Wouldn't weight be effected by mass + G-loading with is dependent on AOA, coupled with speed, which is controlled by throttle setting ?

Something a pilot would know instinctively..

Edt: Terminology correction.. 'Mass effect' not being consistent as weight changes. =>> Wing loading = Force / wing area (for want of a basic formula)
